Dressed like a loser and went to raise a baby

Chapter 43
Recently, noble ladies in Kyoto ask when they meet: "Did you buy a rabbit?"

"I bought it."

"How many colors did you buy?"

"White, pink and yellow."

"Have you bought the Mid-Autumn Festival Limited Edition Moon Palace Rabbit?"

"No."

"Not only do I have them in white, pink and yellow, but I also have the Mid-Autumn Festival Limited Edition Monthly Offering Jade Rabbit, hahaha..."

"..."

There is a trend of collecting doll rabbits in Kyoto. If an outsider comes to Kyoto and asks about the specialties and wants to take them home for his or her children, people in Kyoto will recommend them to go to Yiyuan Clothing Store to buy rabbits. doll.

Because this rabbit is selling so well, many shops have followed suit. However, they don't know how to make this downy stuff, so they use real rabbit fur to make it. Not only is it expensive, but it also has the smell of fur.Although it is also furry, its feel is different from that of the rabbit on Yi Yuan.

Because of the smell, ladies don’t like it and don’t buy it.

Those people thought of a way to soak it in a lot of spices to cover up the smell of the fur.But the strong smell of spices was never as good as the faint fragrance of gardenia on Yi Yuan's doll.The ladies of Kyoto always only buy the right ones, not the cheap ones.Even if it is sold cheaply elsewhere, they will not buy it unless they can collect all seven colors and exchange it for a limited edition rabbit of the same height as a rabbit.

On this day, Rong Qinlan, the youngest daughter of the Minister of Household Affairs, held a rabbit appreciation banquet, and all the invitees had to bring their own rabbit dolls.

Lin Wanyun had only been in Kyoto for two months with her father. Her father was just a fifth-rank Dali Zheng. It was a great honor to be invited by Miss Hubu Shangshu. She also wanted to use this to break into the circle of noble ladies in Kyoto.

She heard that the rabbit appreciation banquet would bring rabbit dolls, which were popular in Kyoto, so she quickly went to buy them. When she got there, she asked, and found that each doll cost 20 taels of silver.

Her monthly salary is only five taels of silver, and 21 taels of silver is really too expensive.She just happened to see someone buying a stuffed rabbit in the shop opposite. The style was almost the same as the one with the edge, and it only cost three taels of silver each, so she bought one.

After entering the House of Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, Lin Wanyun followed the maid to the waterside pavilion where the banquet was held.

There were already many people sitting in the waterside pavilion. Everyone was holding a toy rabbit in their hands, whether it was white, pink, or yellow. Everyone looked at the rabbits in each other's hands.

"I also wanted the Moon Palace Jade Rabbit, but unfortunately I didn't get it."

"I asked the boy to queue up at night, and then I bought this limited edition rabbit. Unfortunately, I didn't buy the white rabbit. I couldn't collect all seven colors, and there is no way to redeem the limited edition full-height rabbit in the future."

Lin Wanyun was sitting on a round stool and listening, completely unable to understand what these noble ladies were saying.I can't understand at all that these noble ladies from Kyoto are so crazy about a rabbit doll, and even make their missing family members line up in the middle of the night.

"How many rabbits did you buy?" Hanlin's daughter, who said she didn't buy any white rabbits, asked Lin Wanyun, who looked at the white doll rabbit in her hand.

When Lin Wanyun saw someone taking the initiative to chat, she quickly smiled and said, "I just bought this one."

When the Hanlin daughter heard that Lin Wanyun only bought one, she said: "You only bought one, and you can't collect all seven colors. Why don't you sell yours to me! I'm willing to pay 25 Two pieces of silver."

With this white one, she can collect all seven colors in the future. Buy a rabbit doll for 25 taels of silver!I'm afraid this person is crazy!Lin Wanyun didn't like these things at all. She also wanted to sell the Hanlin daughter a good one. She also wanted to use 25 taels of silver to buy a piece of good cloth and make beautiful clothes.

She pretended to be reluctant to give up her love, frowned and said: "A gentleman has the beauty of an adult. Since my sister wants it, then I will sell it to her."

"Great." Hanlin's daughter clapped her hands happily.After taking the photo, he extended his hand to Lin Wanyun. Lin Wanyun understood and handed the doll rabbit in his hand to her.

The daughter of Hanlin took it, squeezed it with admiration, and said happily: "Great, this way I can collect all seven colors."

"Zhu'er." She called the maid standing nearby and motioned for her to give her money.

Pearl understood, stepped forward and took out her money bag.

"Wait..." Hanlin's daughter suddenly made a gesture and her expression changed.

She pinched her Moon Palace Jade Rabbit, and then pinched the rabbit Lin Wanyun sold her. She felt that the feel was obviously different, the former seemed softer.

"What's wrong?" Lin Wanyun's heart tightened.

She suddenly remembered that her rabbit doll was not bought in Yiyuan, and the price was much cheaper. It was different from the rabbits of Hanlin Qianjin and others.

Could this Hanlin daughter have noticed something?She only wanted to please people, but she forgot about this problem.

"Do you think this one is different from ours?" Hanlin's daughter frowned and showed the white rabbit doll to the person next to her.

The person next to him took a look, compared it with his own, and smelled it again.Looking at Lin Wanyun, she asked, "Didn't you buy this at Yiyuan?"

Lin Wanyun swallowed dryly. The eyes of this noble girl from Kyoto were too sharp. They were obviously the same thing, but they could see the difference.

Seeing that she didn't speak, the noble girl glanced at Lin Wanyun up and down, put the doll rabbit on the table, and said, "You are fake."

This banquet was a rabbit appreciation banquet, and I wanted to bring a rabbit doll, but this person brought a fake one instead.But it was only 20 taels of silver and not worth much. Did she need to buy a fake one?The smell and feel of this piece are wrong. Even the embroidery of the rabbit's eyes is not as lively as the ones on the edge of the clothes. It can't be more fake.

Lin Wanyun's throat tightened and she said, "Is this true or false?"

"What is fake?" Other noble ladies gathered around, including the host Rong Qinyun.

"Of course they are divided." After finishing speaking, Hanlin's daughter pointed at her and said to Rong Qinyun and the others, "Her rabbit doll is a fake."

Everyone looked at Lin Wanyun with disdain on their faces.Lin Wanyun was so embarrassed that she wished she could find a hole in the ground and crawl into it.He lowered his head and said, "Here, my maid bought this. She didn't know it was fake."

So everyone looked at the maid standing behind Lin Wanyun. Yu'er looked at her own lady and then at the other ladies, not knowing how to react for a moment.She and the lady obviously bought this rabbit doll together. The lady thought it was too expensive and bought it cheaply, so it had nothing to do with her.

Rong Qinlan pointed at the maid behind Lin Wanyun and said to her: "That must be you, maid, who spent money and bought you a fake one. We all buy rabbit dolls because we like them, so that we can exchange them for limited edition ones." A rabbit doll of the same height. That’s something you can’t even buy with money. This one of yours is a fake, but there’s no way to exchange it.”
